Sunbonnet Questers

The November meeting of Sunbonnet Questers met Nov. 10 at the home of LaVon Roth. The meeting was called to order by President Dorothy Raymond at 7:50 p.m. Roll call was answered by eight members with memories of our favorite childhood book which stimulated great discussion about books we read as children and also books we read to our children.

Dorothy shared items from Tidbits by the state president including questions regarding the state motto and the Terrace Hill tea. Dorothy will send an email with more information regarding the tea.

Old business: Dorothy handed out copies of our current policies with a copy of the items the state organization wants to be considered for inclusion. It appears that our policies are in line with this list and a copy will be sent to the state organization.

Judy Swenson has offered to hostess the Christmas meeting. Discussion regarding food led to the decision that each of us will take an appetizer. The Christmas gifting project will remain with the recipients to be decided at the December meeting. There will be no gift exchange among members.
